The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China normally evokes a strict and disciplined image. This image, however, elicits the scorn of many Chinese that is usually reserved for the filthy rich.

A Chinese netizen posted about running into the two women wearing military uniforms at the Shenzhen airport and shocked by how they were accessorized: two shoulder bags/purses, a Burberry and LV (Louis Vuitton) respectively, LV branded luggage bags and suitcases, and the black paper bag at the bottom left corner of the photo was a newly purchased Gucci.

Attentive netizens calculated how much all of the items in the picture cost: Large LV luggage bag/each = 58,500 yuan, 5 * 58,500 = 292,500 yuan, small LV bag/each = 26,000 yuan, 2 * 26,000 = 52,000 yuan, and not including the rolling suitcase and other items, the total: 344,500 yuan (~52,197 USD).

The question is whether the army personnel are that well paid or are they just carrying fakes.

China’s hospitals are pretty damn scary. Whenever I go to China the number one thing I fear most is getting seriously ill, because I will then need to visit the hospital.

Apple news reports that a week ago in Shenzhen, a woman, who had a miscarriage, visited a clinic called Runzhen to have her womb cleaned out. After administering the anesthetic and, for some unspecified reason, tying her legs to the operation table, the doctors demanded an additional payment of RMB 2,100 which the woman was unable to pay.

In response, the doctors left her legs sprawled and tied to the operation table for three hours.
